ATTF: Personal Space  
 Welcome to February, best bar!

With Prompt-a-thon right around the corner, I wanted to spend this week’s ATTF talking about the spaces our favorite assassins occupy. Setting can make such an impact on a story, and our own understandings and headcanons about the places Clint and Natasha call home reflect their personalities and influence the way we each write about them. So:

  • What do their respective homes look like to you? Do they live at the Tower with the rest of the Avengers, or at SHIELD, or somewhere else? What items or features do you always include when your writing takes you into one of their homes?
  • If they live together, what’s that like? Does Clint leave his dirty socks everywhere (yes)? Does Natasha absolutely refuse to get rid of that hideous lamp even though it doesn’t even work?
  • Of course, these two also spend plenty of time on the run or lying low. What do all of Natasha’s boltholes have in common? How does Clint manage to find purple sheets for literally every safehouse, no matter how remote?

Share your headcanons about any of the above, or anything else living-space related! Write us a little description of Natasha’s kitchen, or the makeshift target on Clint’s fire escape, or whatever else! Tell us about you writing process when it comes to creating settings! Recommend us some reading material!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

Well, I decided on an apartment for Clint before I read the Fraction/Aja comics, so I have both that space (minimalist, loft, with roof access) as well as my later, post-Fraction one in Queens. A lot of people liked my original Clint apartment, as it turns out, so I featured it in several stories:

The first appearance is in the first chapter of The Skies Over Manhattan; the second major one is post-TWS, when Natasha goes to clean it up after Hydra trashed it, in
Shards And then there's a cameo in In the Service).

The coffee-soaked, dog-haired Fraction-Aja apartment pops up pretty regularly after I found out it existed, namely in all of my Clint & Kate stories.

As for Natasha, I have her in what amounts to a Tribeca loft - chic, minimalist (and in need of a formative trip to IKEA with Clint):
Some Assembly required
